Our reliability study for this generation Chrysler Crossfire includes details on average repair costs, manufacturer recalls, and everything you need to know to gauge the long-term reliability of this generation Chrysler Crossfire .

Trouble Spots

Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer, however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.

Convertible top: The convertible top may quit working if the driver doesn't allow it to fully open or fully close because the control module forgets the top's position unless the switches are cycled. Also, the top may be hard to close requiring new pivot bolts in the frame. (2005

Keyless entry: Remote keyless entry transmitter batteries die prematurely because a bit of plastic flash may keep the panic button depressed. (2005)

Transmission leak: The transmission solenoid/pressure switch leaks fluid causing a check engine light, requiring replacement of the solenoid. Electrical connector and fluid may also leak from the electrical connector guide on the right front corner of the transmission. (2004-05)
